One of the most promising Early Access games I've stumbled upon lately .Game feels like a cross between This War of Mine and State of Decay 2. This game nails the atmosphere, gritty 80s setting, desperate survivors, and that constant “one bad move and you’re dead” tension. One of my main issues is the Inventory system. Weapons in my hand should not use a backpack slot. Bullets in my gun should not use an additional backpack slot.It causes additional unnecessary trips to locations just to retrieve one or two items. 🟩 Pros: + Shelters are distinct from one another + Crafting mechanics and controls are easy to pick up + Durability becomes a non-issue later in the game, as your craft better weapons + Claiming a new shelter automatically collects any remaining loot, streamlining gameplay + New survivors can be found while scavenging, but not all encounters will end peacefully + Art direction oozes 80s charm, with cassette icons, retro fonts, and evocative location design + The need to relocate shelters adds tension and keeps the gameplay loop dynamic and engaging +Emphasizes stealth with mechanics like hiding in shadows, peeking through doors, and sneaking + Built around a try, fail, retry system of learning through experience, the more effort you invest, the easier it becomes, leading to natural progression 🟥 Cons: - Combat and character movement feels sluggish - Button prompts are inconsistent, showing (Y) instead of (A) for equipping weapons - Only a single save slot, limiting experimentation with different survivors or choices - Permadeath adds tension but may become frustrating or repetitive for some players - Weapon durability feels unrealistic early – A metal crowbar shouldn’t break before a pool cue - Inventory stack sizes feel unbalanced – 4 wooden planks shouldn’t equal 2 junk food packets
The game runs surprisingly smoothly for an Early Access game. The immersion works really well, and before you know it, you’ve spent way more time playing than you intended. It feels a lot like "This War of Mine", but upgraded, expanded, and with zombies. The atmosphere, survival elements, and constant pressure make for a really compelling experience. Definitely one to keep an eye on — very promising already, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
Great game - Horrible combat. The combat is SO jank, unavoidable hits, freaky animation timings, clunky ass controls, getting grapple locked by one zombie over and over - I spent a full hour 1v1ing zombies on new saves to practice, and quickly realized it wasn't a skill issue. Everything else about this game is two thumbs up from me, but the combat needs some cleaning up. There was a patch recently that made animations faster, but its a band-aid solution and still feels horrible. Definitely going to keep playing and stick with it, because the rest of the game is so damn good! but, when I get forced into a 1v1 on a zombie, I am GENUINELY more afraid of the controls then the zombie itself.
So far the game is great. People that compare this game to be inferior to This War of Mine need to take a step back and look at this game as a different entity. This isn't about war. It doesn't carry a special message, or even need to. This is another zombie apocalypse game, and just another side scroller game. Appreciate the game for what it is. I enjoy the unique mechanics and different kind of intensities this game has. Some good feedbacks: +Having zombies sitting by the sidelines is absolutely great. 1 mess up, and the game can get incredibly hard. Game is more spatial because of this. +Get scratched badly and there's a chance the survivor can turn into a zombie despite getting all the medicines and support they can get. +Survivors being at the same spots are fine. Though if they can be randomized would be more interesting. +I'm fine with loot locations not being randomised. Just means I can optimise my runs better each time. +Relocating from one safehouse to another is good mechanic. Would like to add a danger level when moving depends on various effects like survivor current statuses, street can be roamed with more zombies at that period of time. And maybe finding random loots when moving. +Limiting how far you can go scavenging is good. Game is based around a city, so people shouldn't expect to be able to coop in 1 house only and go loot your neighbourhood. Some negative feedbacks: -Story is pretty barebone but acceptable. -While story doesn't need to be special, there should be more depth to the characters. Add some dialogues when people use Communal Area. Choosing correct dialogue can help increase the affection more. -Combining with characters being randomised at specific locations, there should be another layer of story that recruiting people can either help the OG party or wreck them. Assume Garrett can be recruited, but if he joins Hao's party, it's just straight bad news. But if Mei is friend with Michelle, chemistry of the group is better than with any other recruitable survivors and it'll the one of the most ideal suvivor groups. -Add a crosshair when aiming. Maybe even add recoil or focus into the guns. People without gun experience can still do critical hit to the head, but needs longer time to aim and recover from gun recoil. Can still spam but accuracy decreases depend survivor's traits. -Blunt weapons is currently not ideal to use as it attracts zombies easier. Every character is pretty much using stealth and kill with sharp weapons, and Penny is a perfect character for this. There have to be a balance trade off. Like Scrapper trait + Tough Skin trait for a big guy. Take less damage, harder to get wounded/infected, but do mad damage with blunt weapons. Yet clumsy. Can randomly make loud noise when looting, opening door. Keen to see what the devs gonna do next for the game.
